      by

      JAKE PAUL has been training off a diet of tasty chicken and the occasional cheesecake in preparation to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The YouTuber-turned-boxer returns to the ring on Saturday night against former middleweight world champion Chavez Jr. Jake Paul’s fight camp diet has been revealedJake Paul returns against Julio Cesar Chavez JrCredit: GettyHe switched his training from his adopted home of Puerto Rico to Atlanta, Georgia where Paul recently purchased a £29million ranch.And with him all the way was personal chef Eric Triliegi – who has worked with the likes of Conor McGregor and Ryan Garcia in the past.Triliegi – an expert in helping fighters cut weight through nutrition – has the job of making sure Paul is fuelled for 12 weeks of training.He told SunSport: “For someone like Jake or an athlete it’s actually very simple. READ MORE IN boxing “We want to make sure he’s getting enough carbohydrates so he has enough glycogen storage in his muscles to be able to perform.”We gotta make sure he has enough fat so we can give him some of that good fat energy as well and then he has to have the right amount of protein so we keep him lean.”When we do the water load, we like to have him have more muscle mass because water and muscle cell combine, water and fat don’t combine.”So I like to make sure that he’s lean with muscle, got enough muscle so when the water load happens, it’s doing the right things.”Most read in BoxingJake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez JrJAKE PAUL’S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul – bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.Watch Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr LIVE on DAZN PPVINFOLATEST NEWS & FEATURESCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSPaul’s favourite fight camp meal is chicken marsala – an Italian-American dish made of shallots, garlic and a wine sauce. He has up to four meals a day – breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks mixed in with smoothies between his sessions.Jake Paul vows to send Julio Cesar Chavez Jr into sad boxing retirement and goads ‘I’ll be there for you’And if Triliegi fancies treating Paul , he serves up a sweet treat – all still healthy, of course.He said: “Honestly, I’m not big on cheat meals but I will do a no-bake cheesecake, passion fruit cheesecake, things like that. “But I use all healthy ingredients.”Paul’s last fight was up at heavyweight in November when Mike Tyson controversially came out of retirement aged 58. He jumped up to 227lb (16st 2lb) before winning on points and now drops back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb. And Triliegi said: “The last fight camp for Tyson we were having over 3,400 calories a day – maybe a little bit more.”We were gaining weight, so it was a lot easier. Now with this, he came in camp light around 215, so the weight cut’s been real easy, real simple.”Triliegi has to make sure Paul’s calories are reduced as the fight edges closer and the weigh-in approaches.But the chef – who brought out his own book called Fight Food – even tracks the boxer’s SLEEP to help him shed the unwanted pounds Triliegi said: “I monitor everything, his sleep cycle, light, deep, in REM, his training, rest blocks.”If everything is going smoothly, he can eat the food that he wants, he can eat when he wants. “But we just monitor a little bit of the portion control. But other than that, we’re monitoring sleep, making sure he doesn’t eat too late. “If you eat too late when you go to bed instead of resting, you’re digesting so it’s taking away from the purpose of sleep so we pretty much keep track of everything.”Jake Paul’s chef Eric Triliegi even lives with the boxerJake Paul tucking into one of his meals More
